How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 42 Alien Skeleton

Huogu pondered for a while, but failed to find any clues about this super-giant underground cavity from the information he had collected.

Eight hundred million years, the years of vicissitudes, are enough to make any bright object decay.

At present, Huogu can find something of certain value, that is, the book of formations that occupies a hundred square kilometers, but the problem is that it does not have the ability to interpret the contents of this huge book of formations, so it can only sigh.

In the following period of time, the rhizome system successively passed through twelve pairs of support columns and thirty-two seawater columns formed by cracking and falling from the bottom layer, and finally completely covered the entire ground of the underground cavity.

"It's finally over."

The command of the rhizome system has cost Huogu a lot of energy. You must know that the area occupied by this underground cavity has reached the concept of 'billion'. In fact, every place and every section of the rhizome system is monitored. part, but it consumes Huogu's energy quite a lot.

Hogu, freed from mental work, moved his gaze upwards.

"The words on the top floor..."

"...Forget it. The rhizome system also has its own weight. If it occupies the top layer, it might break the stress balance of the top layer, and the consequences will be quite serious."

Once the breach on the top floor is too large, it may even trigger a chain reaction, causing the entire top floor to collapse. After all, it is an antique that has lasted 800 million years.

In other words, the exploration of the underground cavity is over?

No, Huogu continued to explore downwards and backwards. Since the left and right sides, the top floor and the front are all metal walls, the boundaries in other directions are probably also metal walls. In other words, a considerable part of the underground cavity, They are actually buried by rock formations.

This is most likely the result of damage to multiple parts of the cavity in the early days, resulting in the infiltration of lava.

As it stands, the builders of this place and this building do not belong to this planet.

Although the early molten planets also had oceans, they were lava seas with an average temperature above 1500 degrees Celsius and various extreme environments.

In addition, the early stage of a planet is not only the early stage of its individual, but also the early stage of the planetary system. There are tens of millions of wandering meteorites floating in the planetary system, so there will be space traffic accidents where meteorites fall into the planet every now and then.

To describe it more intuitively, it is the situation where a Tsar nuclear bomb is detonated somewhere on the earth every few days. In addition, because lava is fluid, the shock wave can easily spread to the whole world. The difference is only in the strength and weakness. Just two concepts.

If hell really existed in this world, it would probably look like this.

Ten thousand steps back, even if there are intelligent creatures living in the lava sea, and they are civilizations that have developed to a certain stage, they don't need to build this kind of building. According to the traces found in the cavity so far, the building was originally empty , the lava was present in this building only after the building was damaged.

May I ask, is it necessary for a civilization born in a lava sea to build such a building that is completely different from their living environment?

If it is said to be for large-scale scientific experiments, but judging from the size and quality of the void, this kind of speculation is completely unconvincing.

The rhizome system followed the instructions to explore downwards, and the solid volcanic rock was easily squeezed away by the rhizome like tofu, and something was soon discovered.

However, Huogu was not happy with what he discovered. The discovery was a metal plate, the same as the first metal plate discovered.

A little disappointed, Huogu continued to order the rhizome to explore downwards, he firmly believed that he would find something.

Huogu's firm belief is not without reason. Rock formations can often seal up some things relatively intact for a long time, such as those dinosaur fossils.

It is absolutely impossible for a space as large as this man-made cavity to be inhabited by only one intelligent life form. If the original shattering was a sudden accident, then there is a very high possibility that there are bones and fossils of those builders under the ground of the underground cavity. .

After that, after a while, the rhizome system reaches the boundary of the void, but it is not a downward-exploring rhizome, but a backward-exploring rhizome.

Because of the support of the rock formations, Huogu didn't need to worry about collapsing. The rhizomes spread crazily to cover the positive area behind, including the top layer behind, so he discovered several breaches in the metal wall behind.

Huogu's previous guess of "lava pouring into the hole" was confirmed by this, and it also made him more vigorous and more careful to search every corner of the underground rock formation.

The hard work paid off, and its efforts were not in vain. The fossils that had been sleeping in the rock formation for 800 million years were discovered by unscrupulously expanding rhizomes, and they were found in a large area.

After injecting connexin to stabilize the material structure of the fossil, Huo Gu concentrated on manipulating the rhizome to separate the rock layer above the skeleton, and lifted a skeleton sample up very carefully.

When the fossil bones were lifted out of the rock formation, Huo Gu was finally lucky enough to see the fossils of alien bones this time.

The color of this skeleton is different from that of human beings and the alien skeleton fossils unearthed by humans on Mars. The whole body is reddish brown, and the main component is iron oxide. Huogu infers that these intelligent creatures use iron as their skeleton To support the body instead of calcium, after 800 million years, the iron element in the skeleton gradually combined with oxygen, thus becoming the present skeleton made of iron oxide.

Probably because the lava came suddenly, the skeleton was relatively well preserved, except for some cracks, there was basically no major damage.

The skull has a pair of curved horns similar to that of a goat, and behind it is a pair of bony wings similar to bats. It is about three meters tall. The spine is very similar to the human spine, but there are also differences. The lower end of the spine continues to extend to form a spine tail.

The same is the four limbs, a pair of hands and a pair of feet, there are six finger bones, and the same is true for the toe bones.

The inside of the skeleton is a hollow structure, which is similar to the skeleton of a bird, that is to say, the wings on the back of these intelligent creatures do have the function of flying.

"How does this creature remind me of the devil who is defined as evil in Western mythology?"

"Fortunately, it's not an international organization's excavation, otherwise some terrorists might jump out and blow up this skeleton and this cavity."

At the beginning, at the International Astronautical Center, the interference of religion was quite embarrassing to Huo Gu. There was no way to prove that aliens existed, which meant that human beings were also born from nature. Who still believed in their "God created man" ?

"But then again, why are these intelligent creatures on this planet?"

"And why did you descend to seek death when this planet was still in a molten state?"

The time span of 800 million years is really too big, Huogu has no way to reflect the situation at that time.

Among the thousands of thoughts, Huogu's mind immediately flashed the guy who drove himself from the bottom of the sea to the bottom of the ground, and his body was unknown.
